Popular NYC gay bar to close
(Washington Blade file photo by Pete Exis)
NEW YORK—One of New York’s oldest continuously operating gay bars is slated to close at the end of this month.
Jeremiah’s Vanishing New York on Monday reported Rawhide on Eighth Avenue in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood will close because its new landlord raised its rent from $15,000 to $27,000 a month. The bar, which opened in 1979, is located in New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn’s district.
Owner Jason Goudgeon told DNAinfo.com he hopes to reopen in a new location.

Someone needs to post the name of the landlord and their other properties so the Gay community can boycott/picket this rapacious landlord. I can't believe an 86 2/3 % rent increase could ever be defensible. Seems the landlord is engaging in outright hatred against the bar.
